Orbital Perturbations of the Galilean Satellites During Planetary Encounters

, 2014
The Nice model of the dynamical instability and migration of the giant planets can explain many properties of the present Solar System, and can be used to constrain its early architecture.

Pwyll and Manannán Craters as a Laboratory for Constraining Irradiation Timescales on Europa

The Planetary Science Journal
We examine high-spatial-resolution Galileo/Near-Infrared Mapping Spectrometer observations of the young (∼1 My–∼20 My) impact features, Pwyll and Manannán craters, on Europa’s trailing hemisphere in an effort to constrain irradiation timescales.

A Gas-poor Planetesimal Capture Model for the Formation of Giant Planet Satellite Systems

, 2005
Assuming that an unknown mechanism (e.g., gas turbulence) removes most of the subnebula gas disk in a timescale shorter than that for satellite formation, we develop a model for the formation of regular (and possibly at least some of the irregular ...

Deep-space navigation applications of improved ground-based optical astrometry [PDF]

Improvements in ground-based optical astrometry will eventually be required for navigation of interplanetary spacecraft when these spacecraft communicate at optical wavelengths.

Radio emission from satellite-Jupiter interactions (especially Ganymede)

, 2017
Analyzing a database of 26 years of observations of Jupiter from the Nan\c{c}ay Decameter Array, we study the occurrence of Io-independent emissions as a function of the orbital phase of the other Galilean satellites and Amalthea.

Formation and Survival of Complex Organic Molecules in the Jovian Circumplanetary Disk

The Planetary Science Journal
Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto are key targets in the search for habitability due to the potential presence of subsurface oceans. Detecting complex organic molecules (COMs), essential for prebiotic chemistry, is crucial to assessing their potential ...

The Bombardment History of the Giant Planet Satellites

The Planetary Science Journal
The origins of the giant planet satellites are debated, with scenarios including formation from a protoplanetary disk, sequential assembly from massive rings, and recent accretion after major satellite–satellite collisions.
